Building a Pet Store Terraform Provider

Even though the Terraform provider registry has almost every provider we can think of, there is a chance that a provider we need does not yet exist. Perhaps we want to use Terraform to interact with resources of a proprietary API internal to our company. If we want to manage resources that don't yet exist in the Terraform provider ecosystem, we will need to write a provider for that API. The good news is that writing a Terraform provider is relatively simple. The thoughtful folks at HashiCorp provide great documentation, SDKs, and tools to make building a provider a breeze.
